Yesterday night, I was of the lucky attendees of the Sufjan Steven's show in the Crofoot Ballroom of Pontiac. I'd seen Sufjan before, but never with a backing band so sparse or in a space so intimate. Playing with only five others, Sufjan nonetheless sounded amazing.This, however, is not blogworthy news. What's worth mentioning is Soof's performance of a few new songs. If my approval means anything to you, note that they're fantastic.
For more info on the new tunes, check the fleshed out Stereogum article. Otherwise, download the at times avant-garde, Sonic Youth/Miles Davis-tinged bootlegs below.
Though that big news broke on Thursday, I also got my hands on Sufjan's beautiful, not-yet-released BQE album.
Down below you'll also find a few choice concert photos, three new MP3s from The BQE, and in case you missed it, Sufjan's experimental "You Are the Blood" from Dark Was the Night, as well as two of my favourite rarities.
